NCS4-63+

Product Overview

NCS4-63+ is a Mini-Circuits ceramic LTCC RF balun transformer used for RF balanced/unbalanced conversion and impedance transformation. The confirmed published data for this exact ordering code is Frequency Range: 4.5 GHz to 6.0 GHz; Impedance Ratio: 1:4; Insertion Loss: 1.0 dB max; Phase Difference / Unbalance: 5°; Return Loss: 14.03 dB min; Package / Case: 6-SMD, no lead. These values make the part suitable for 5 GHz WLAN and point-to-point radio front ends. In RF layouts the balun is normally placed close to the RFIC, mixer, amplifier or antenna matching network; the published ratio, passband and package should be preserved when replacing the part in an approved BOM.
